Samsung Samsung DVG45R6100W 7.5 cu. ft. Gas Dryer with Multi-Steam HE Error Fix: Heating Error — Not Heating

Error code HE on the Samsung Samsung DVG45R6100W 7.5 cu. ft. Gas Dryer with Multi-Steam means: Heating Error — Not Heating. The dryer is not heating. For electric dryers, the most common cause is a blown thermal fuse — a safety device that cuts power to the heating element when the dryer overheats due to restricted airflow. Test the thermal fuse with a multimeter (it should show continuity). If blown, replace it but also clean the entire vent system — a clogged vent is what caused the fuse to blow. Also check the heating element for continuity and the cycling thermostat. For gas dryers, check the gas supply, igniter, and gas valve coils.
